fighting fit

Ready for anything

Fighting fit describes being in peak physical condition, healthy and ready for vigorous activity.

The phrase originated in military contexts—fit enough to fight—but now applies broadly to anyone in excellent shape: After six months of training, she's fighting fit again.

British English favors this expression over American English.
